New job anxiety

Hello
I've started a new job at the beginning of October, but I'm thinking to quit as I'm having so much anxiety to the point that is making me physically ill. I had to call off sick today as I've been vomiting all night
I'm a nurse, I had to leave the hospital where my baby died 5 years ago as I couldn't face to go back to work in the same hospital where my baby died. Over this past 5 years I worked as a district nurse which I loved it but due to management and wanted to find a Monday to Friday job I decided to apply for another job at the hospital where I used to work 5 years ago. Which now I'm regretting
I thought I was ready to go back to the hospital and work in a new environment but I've realised that I'm not and I don't know how much longer I can cope in this new job
I really want to quit but also I feel like a failure quitting a job after only 3 weeks.
Any advised?

I do understand what a terrible experience it must have been but one of your issues here is your running away from your phobia and not facing it head on. If you always run you will never feel better you will never be ready and never will be able to face your work.

Yes I agree about running away from my problem but in the other hand the new job is affecting my whole life and relationship with my partner and children. I feel like I made a bad decision and I should have stayed at my old job
